What is the rush?? I am a supporter of Obama, but it worries me that sometimes he seems too smooth for his own good; too confident that his charisma will carry the day. He seems to have adopted the "Trust Me" attitude of the paternalistic brand of ...

Greece threatens top court action to block Grexit
- Collector commented Jun 30, 2015
Yes, I agree - Not nice, very messy in fact, but it is the best option. I also believe that if the unelected Eurocrats and the ECB, in particular, continue to rule the day, the EZ and perhaps even the EU will be in trouble in the future. IMO, what ...
Greece Over the Brink

Greece’s Tsipras Calls July 5 Referendum on Bailout Demands

The EURNZD is down a little this week after a sustained 8-wk uptrend. Apart from the past week, I can't see how this supports Forex.com's analysis. Also, the Kiwi is currently flat-lining at around 0.6640 against the USD, which may be the bottom of ...
